This well-structured volume covers the following main topics:Confocal microscopy of the cornea Treatment of adenoviral corneal opacities Conservative treatment of severe surface disorders Amniotic membrane transplantation Limbal stem cell transplantation Techniques in penetrating keratoplasty Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty Corneal allograft rejection Infective complications following LASIK All topics have direct clinical importance and will not only keep ophthalmologists up-to-date, but will inform them how to treat their cornea patients with optimal (or best possible) diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
